Romain Langlois

Born in 1977, Romain Langlois moved from design and architecture towards material via sculpture. To avoid just stammering, he began a titanic work of technical documentation, went through the Arts Déco in Strasbourg, met masters and undertook initial work by shaping a large number of pieces in earth.

Little by little, he became familiar with all the materials, their possibilities and their appearance. Having become an expert in production techniques, he moved from figurative and narrative sculpture via human representation towards working with the material for its own sake, using even wood and rocks to become a master of hybridization. But above all he uses the raw material of the sculpture (bronze) to transform it through the effect of patina and volume into wood, stone, liquid gold.
